Show HN: No Cookie – Show your website visitors you don’t use cookies
no-cookie.kemp.appKind of annoying that I have to hit the “X” every time I refresh the page or visit the site. Could you make it so the page stores some kind of state in my browser so I don’t have to do it manually every time?
Well, that would be ironically if a website announces not to store cookies (as a user I also expect nothing else on my computer) but then makes use of some pesistent storage.
Let's be honest: These badges which consume screen spaces are annoying and nobody ever reads them. I did not realize what it says (I automatically clicked the close box) before I read the main text of that No-Cookie website!
That's part of the point! I did intentionally try to design it similarly to a real cookie consent banner.
It just goes to show how ineffective they are if people just click without even reading them.
Could use LocalStorage as that's not technically cookies.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely look into it.
Hey HN, creator here. I made this satirical project for me to learn how to make NPM modules and my goal was to release it in one day. It’s not for serious use. The code isn’t great. Like I said, I’m still learning.
Here’s the GitHub: https://github.com/rockhopper72/no-cookie Pull requests welcome.
Thanks!
It’s an inspired satirical project. I think there’s value in shipping something no-one would ever use; it allows you to see things from new perspectives. See also: the useless machine [0].
Glad this is satirical, I was afraid this was a seriously misguided attempt to _enhance_ user experience...
Funny stuff!
You spelled consent wrong in the pop up though ;-)
Why annoy my users, even as a joke? I don't get this at all.
why, in the would, would i need JavaScript to tell people I don't use cookies?!
Why not just a note at the bottom of the page with no banner that needs to be closed. It's frustrating enough that I have to do it on the cookie sites, why in the world would you make me do it on a non-cookie site.
Rather amusingly, my fairly simple ad-blocker is already blocking your no cookie banner.
Add localStorage or sessionStorage to make the accept button usable
An exceptions of the law probably applies when it comes to storing that particular information. If no exception apply, then you'd need to warn the users that some information are being recorded. https://law.stackexchange.com/q/30739/3980
Thanks for the feedback!
I created an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/rockhopper72/no-cookie/issues/1
I personally 'ok' with websites using Cookies. It helps pulling webpage faster..
um. no. it.... no.
That.... no.
It may help you avoid logging in to a page again, but it will _not_ help load/pull the page faster. In fact, it will load it slower, because now there's more data to download, read, and process.
